Beware
the Saints in 2010
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE Welcome to Season 2010.
A big thankyou to the committee of 2009 for all their hard work over the season. The St Damians Junior Football Club welcomes all new players, families, sponsors and new members. St Damians JFC had a great year in 2009 with 14 teams which included our Youth Girls team for the second year. The committee of 2010 is committed 100% to make sure that everything that happens in the club benefits the children at all times. At St Damians JFC we are committed to developing each child's football skills and personal life experiences with their mates at the club. At St Damians we encourage parent participation with the team that their child plays in; many friendships in the club have happened from this. All Coaches, Trainers, Committee members have been screened through the 'Working with Children' police check to ensure that we have quality people working with our children. The 2010 Season at St Damians JFC is looking forward to another successful year on and off the field with a variety of social events and happy times. Please feel free to speak to me or any member of the committee at any time as we are all very friendly and approachable. Come along and join a great club in a safe environment where children can live their dreams!
